Collagen is such a fantastic nutrient. It has so many benefits for skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, etc. Collagen in peptide form (smaller chain amino acids) like those in Amino Collagen C with Hyaluronic Acid from Elavonne, are even better as they are proven to have superior absorption and utilization. In this article we want to provide an easy reference point for how much collagen to take daily for skin health goals. But first, let’s cover some basics:

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a group of proteins. They make up about one-third of the protein in your body and provide the structure for tissues like cartilage, skin, and tendons. Your body produces collagen from the amino acids that you take in through food. However, this ability starts to decline after age 20.

What Does the Research Tell Us?

A review and analysis of 19 studies, published in the International Journal of Dermatology, showed that those who used collagen supplements saw an improvement in the firmness, suppleness, and moisture content of the skin; with wrinkles appearing less noticeable.

How Long Until You See Results?

Often people who use collagen can see results in a few weeks beginning with nail and hair strength, then ultimately also with positive changes in skin feel and appearance. 

What Form Should I Take?

Oral supplementation of collagen is superior to topical applications due to the overall intake, and also due to issues related to absorption and utilization by the body. With ingestible forms, the goal is to get the amino acids (peptides) small enough so that they are readily utilized by the body. Therefore, it is preferred to use a low molecular weight peptide to receive the maximum benefit. Elavonne's Amino Collagen C with Hyaluronic Acid is a low molecular weight peptide formula that is superior for absorption, which also includes two dynamic supporting ingredients: Vitamin C as a co-factor for collagen synthesis, and hyaluronic acid- the moisture making machine.
